Tuesday - Caught Up?

From my observations, the strict tardy policy seems to be 'working.' (That is the hard core truant students are making repeat appearances in the Social Room, many of the borderline students are now getting to class on time, and the rest of you have been largely unaffected.

As representatives of the "rest of you" do you agree - have you been basically unaffected? Or have some of you been 15 - 40 seconds late and then had to sit in the social room all hour. If so, what did it look like down there?

  1. I have been unaffected by the tardy policy and have no idea--nor do I want to know--what goes on in the social room.

  9. It hasn't effected me because I've been trying very hard not to be late (and i'm not normally late). Now I don't have time to go to my locker or use the bathroom until lunch.

    I think the policy is working but it shouldn't be a permanent thing.

  10. I have been unaffected by the new tardy policy. I think that it is working, and hopefully once things start to go the way they should, people might stop being so harsh about tardies.

  11. I was a few seconds late and I almost had to sit in the social room. I've been affected due to having to go top the bathroom.

  27. I have for the most part been unaffected by the tardy policy but my boy friend like to walk me to every class and then he is tardy so I have been trying to get him to leave early so we both don't have to go through a lunch detention. We have been doing very good at not being tardy.-Jessica Z.

  28. I havent been affected BUT i came to school late yesterdday because of a doctors app. and they "tried" to send me to the social room. Which doesnt make any sense to me. They should write people a pass and send them to class.

  30. I have been unaffected by the tardy policy, yet I still see people roaming the halls. Either people are finding some great hiding spots, or they're just leaving from the social room, which defeats the whole purpose of them being sent there in the first place.

  32. I've been unaffected to the tardy policy. But my friend told me that sitting down there is the most boring thing ever. They don't do anything and basically just sit and stare at the wall.

  39. I have yet to be late with the new policy. But I have had times where I don't even stop at my locker because I don't want to be late. xD

  40. I haven't been affected by the tardy policy although I know people who have been. I heard you have to sit and stare straight ahead without able to do any work.. Which I think is stupid if they don't want people behind in school.

  43. The new tardy policy hasn't affected me, but other student's incessant complaining has annoyed me. I do not, nor want to know what the Social Room looks like.

    It's not hard to get to class on time.

  47. The new tardy policy has affected me in the morning. Its usually a problem for me to get to school on time. Most times im walking in the school doors a minute late. Lucky for me my teacher has been kind enough to let me in.
    But other classes, the tardy policy, hasnt affected me at all.

  53. i would rather leave home then go to the social room and sit there all hour, getting to class 15-40 seconds late snt worth getting lunch detention
